Eulogy For Father

Improved Essays
I hope this finds you and yours well. It's been 40 years (more or less) and I have no idea as to where to start.

I'm still married to Barbara. I get confused but I believe that happened in 1979...at this point I don't remember not being married. We have a daughter that turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself. She graduated from the University of Florida and then went on to Cornell to become a veterinarian.

Her college and graduate school years were extremely fruitful and productive. That didn't come from me so go figure.

She's practicing in South Florida, and has a husband and one year old son. We're proud of her.

I'm still working. I work for a tiny New Hampshire company from a desk in my home, and stare at computer

    We are still together and strong. What would you say were the major differences in those forms if you experienced more than one?
